It depends if you're just trying to make a backup of your PTS wallet for safe keeping or actually run the client from the USB stick.

If it's the former all you need to do is the following:

1) Exit out of the client so that it is not running any more.
2) Navigate to %AppData%\roaming\protoshares folder (typically C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming On Win7 and above)
3) Copy your wallet.dat to your USB drive (I like to call it pts_wallet.dat on the backup drive so I can tell which coin is backed up. It should already be encrypted from the protoshares-qt client).
4) Restart client.

If you want you want and have room you can copy the whole protoshares folder from %AppData%\roaming to your thumbdrive so you don't have to redownload the blockchain if you re-install your PTS wallet on another computer.

If you want to run your PTS wallet from your thumbdrive don't use the SanDisc software as it creates a file container on the USB drive (sort of like working from within a zip file).  Just copy them with normal Windows cut/paste.  You'll need to make a .bat file to start the protoshshares.exe file with a datadir flag pointing to your thumbdrive where you copied the blockchain.

Depending on which option you're trying to do we can get into more detail about either.

If you really want to run your PTS client-qt from the thumbdrive AND want it all encrypted on top of the normal encryption checkout TrueCrypt.  It's an easy to use free piece of software that allows you to create a container on the USB drive and mount it as a drive so you can have a read/writable thumbdrive that is encrytped really well (http://www.truecrypt.org/)

Good luck!

I'm not really tech savvy just an investor. I ran into a problem trying to download my pts to my usb drive, but I got two messages the first one said your file will be opened as read only. To edit move file outside of vault, open, make changes ,save then drag the updated file back into the vault.

then the second message stated that my libgcc_s_dW2-l.dll is missing from my computer. Try reinstalling to fix this problem.

I thought saving the file will be a 123 step but unfortunately an obstacle had to come about.
I'm using a SanDisk USB drive Cruzer Glider.

Assistance for this problem will be appreciated thanks.

1 pts to who ever can help me thoroughly.

Also, I think you have the answer in your post: your 18 MH rig is making you less than $100/day on PTS, while you could almost certainly be making more than that mining, well, scrypt.

Why would I mine PTS with an AMD GPU? NVidia is a different story, but again, it does not appear to have affected much.

Anyway, if we believe in what's going on here, we should appreciate this buying opportunity, right?

You're not wrong but also keep in mind that 18MH is not one rig.  It's about 12 so playing the field on scrypt's various pump/dump garbage coins (Dodge, Catcoin, etc.) is a bit of a hassle vs keeping it on one coin, like LTC, which was what I based my comparison on. 


Also, GPU mining hasn't had the effect I was expecting on PTS yet but the tech is also mostly in development.  Once GPU mining becomes the norm things may change.  I'm not sure if this is a good thing.  I know Bytemaster had a bounty out for anyone that could prove the momentum algorithm could be done better in a GPU.  That bounty has come and gone but it never the less seems that he felt GPU mining was a "Bad Thing" for PTS.  Later he released a bounty for a GPU miner...so...I dunno.

Hello

By using keyhotee_0.5.2 I have registered my founder's ID and in the contacts next to my Keyhotee ID it shows Registered with xxx points(guessing it means the registration was successful). After which I went to the invictus-innovations.squarespace.com and clicked on the Founders link in the footer. Filled out all the fields and received the following message "Your Key and ID have been registered as a Founder in the Keyhotee Genesis Block." Can someone please tell me if I did anything wrong or I'm all set?

My public key is 7pR8hE1LvFBe9QjkxHmSE52WK9U7hwF7BWXZBNw9nvCNq5dG1A

Thank you

Sounds like you're all set.  I'll send you a ping. If you get it then you're in .  Also as a sanity check you can go to your %AppData%\..\local and rename your Keyhotee folder and recreate your profile to make sure you get the same public key as you'll have to do that once the real block chain is poured and the final release software is out.

Storage should be encrypted unless intended to be public, so the peers wouldn't have to be trusted, and it could start with basic mirroring of contact lists and messages, and scale up to support hosting a full Keyhotee social network like KIDARC.  This could be pretty similar to how Retroshare manages decentralized forums.

I'll have to look into KIDARC.  My reservation though is that I have enough storage to store my data and maybe a friend or two's data but not the entire user bases' data and I'm sure most people would object to a 100PB+ blockchain.  But like I said, I'll need to look into KIDARC to see how they got around this.

This may be the wrong thread and perhaps a bit premature as an Alpha issue however:


I have my main Keyhotee founder ID registered and the pubkey is repeatable by generating new profiles. I am all good there, form submitted on the website, etc.


In the same profile I created a new Identity (Riverhead) and got a public key.  Previously I had exchanged a few messages with someone using Riverhead and all was well.  In the new version I recreated Riverhead and got the same pub key however it never became registered (as expected as there is no block chain yet).  So I deleted Riverhead from my contacts then tried to re-create and it says, "You have already created this identity".


So my question is if I create a second identity (not a founder but in the same profile) and then delete the contact should I be able to re-add it?  Where is Riverhead now?  Will I still get messages send to the pub key? Is there another way to add a pub key I generated with my primary profile?

Again, if this is more of a Beta issue please feel free to disregard or move to another thread.


Thanks!

Mine was say, "Invalid Founder/ID" or similar but now is saying, "Registered with X.Y points".  I'll leave it running and see if it stays that way.

I saw that 1gh got pool with miner for amd and nvidia (pts.1gh.com)

It seems that the 1gh pool get less block by now.

If they can stay ahead of the GPU arms race people will slowly migrate over and then they'll be the block king for a while.  I haven't been following this super close but I suspect either a generic miner (not one hard coded to pts.1gh.com) or a ypoo/beeeeer.orgl gpu miner, will be released eventually and then the tide will swing back.


Currently I'm earning more GPU mining pts.1gh.com even with few blocks found that I was cpu mining pts.beeeeer.org.  By a lot.


Edit: I'm still not sure this is worth it though; at least not yet.  In my VERY brief (10 hours) time GPU mining PTS I can extrapolate an income of approximately 14PTS/m at 1800cpm.  I know it's a very very small sample set and cpm is hard to predict income...however bear with me.  14PTS can currently be bought on the open market for about $14/PTS or $192.  With the same hardware I get about 1.5MHs mining LTC which yields about 11.6 LTC/m.  At $25/LTC that's about $290, or 20PTS...a 42% improvement.  So unless the PTS.1gh.com luck improves in the next couple days (I'll leave it running for a larger sample set) I'd still be better off mining LTC and buying PTS.

Would love to participate in keyhotee and get a Founder ID registration, i'm completely sold on the the Invictus innovation idea and vision.

Is there a way for a true believer to sign up at this stage ?

This is of course at the discretion of Stan, Bytemaster, and the other folks running Invictus however I feel the founding has been done so the opportunity for a Founder ID has passed.  It could be argued that either the Founders were those that took a chance early on or that it isn't founded so long as it's in Alpha.  Being a founder already I'm in the former camp but my opinion isn't exactly unbiased.


It may however be worth considering some other type of tag for investors post founding stage that contribute significantly to the early development efforts.  While the kickoff has been great and the funding is rolling in the idea is still untested in the market so investors, even at this "late" stage, are taking risk.
